Power: smoke manipulation
Backstory: Blake lived a very nice life, he had his own group of friends, lived in a modern neighborhood, both mother and father supported him, and on top of that had decent grades ( C average, but what did that matter? ) He took a liking to the ability of the body, how it moved in action, acrobats. But not just any acrobatic practice, but rather free running. him and his circle thought it to be a challenge to scale man made objects, buildings and anything that caught their eye. This led to his pursuit in being a stunt devil, and began to take college classes on the sorts. But not everything stays gold...
A month after everything in the city had gone to hell, his own mutations began to show. It started one day when he tried a cigarette for the first time, a college student pressured him into it (10 dollars) to see his horrible reaction, and he tried. the first inhale of smoke was fine, no coughing for the first time....and no smoke came out from the exhale. But surprisingly no one bothered to say anything about it. once the stick of nicotine was gone he threw the bud away and went on with his day, taking the second class of the day, and during that class his clothes burned completely off. It first started as black smoke emitting from his skin, and then the smoke burnt holes in the clothing. making a scene, he began to panic and ripped off his clothing before running out of the class and down the hall into the janitors room looking like a smoke machine that you'd use for Halloween, only with black smoke. Once inside he started to try and pat his body to "put out" the smoke. And eventually set off the fire sprinkler, at least the smoke stopped.
After sneaking to his dorm at the university, and jumped into new clothes. He went over the past event while laying in his bed. At some point he figured out how to allow smoke to come out of his pointer finger. But it didn't last long, eventually he had to Inhale more to be able to use this new found ability. Even though he could only let the black cloud out of his finger tips, and his nose. He learned that if he didn't release the smoke eventually, it would find it's way out and burn anything on him.
At first a video popped up about his incident in class, it was recorded. Which brought attention to him, from places he didn't want to get involved in. So he dropped out, and found a single apartment with his pocket cash. He tried to become a new superhero like in the comics...but that idea ran out when all he could do was smoke out.
Eventually he had to pay rent, and he knew how boring work was, so why not become a street performer, make some good money, and hopefully a agent or someone famous would see his talent. First he started on the streets, doing petty card tricks, but that didn't work. Nothing but a couple dollars a day. That woundnt pay the 300$.
Things where looking bad, he started to give up, but one day he smoked a stick. And began to blow shapes from his mouth, something to pass the time while waiting for an audience. A little child, a girl watched in awe as Blake created a cloud in the shape of a diamond. Blake caught on to this, the kid brought her mom, which attracted more attention. The man who created art with a cancerous cloud, was now raking in money like never before. Sure it wasn't big, but it brought food and paid the rent....and the pack of smokes. Though to make sure he didn't catch attention from the men in charge. He picked random spots in the city to perform his talents. He also lost contact from his parents, just incase anything bad happened. But he was adapting to the new life style and loved the money he received for it.
Description:
5'9 tall, and lithe. His body is evenly muscular, he might not look it with his lanky appearance, but he can hold his own. He has violet dyed shagy hair, and slightly purple eyes lazy eyes, they changed from blue to a light purple shade. He had to change his hair color to match his eyes
Skills:
-acrobats
-free running

Current State: Blake can so far create shapes and objects with smoke, inhale any smoke from a burning substance, and hold it within his body and release it when he pleases from any place on his body. But he can only hold it within him for two hours at the most before it releases from his pores and burns his clothing.
Full Power/Adaptations: Eventually he will be able to hold larger amounts of smoke, and produce it in larger, and more concentrated areas, as well as heating it more than usual, and blasting it at will. He can also use it for a camafluage if needed be, good for creating illusions. And create bigger shapes than his usual size.
Weaknesses: Blake cannot be doused in water, sure a shower will be fine. But if he's submerged in water while full of smoke, his body has a bad reaction, and will burn till his body dissolves.
He may be agile and can perform amazing stunts, he cannot take a hit without suffering more damage than the average person. He's always been weak to pain.
Blake also has a fear of water, a shower or a cup won't scare him. But a pool, lake, ocean, he will stay as far as he can from it and try his damn hardest to avoid contact.
Aspirations: smokes just wants to gain as much money as he can with his new found talent, and the be remembered long after he leaves the world.
